Development Of the Great Banking scheme
A Commission Appointed.
WASHINGTON, September 1.-The con-
cessions which Count Mitkiecwicz has OBJ
tained from the Chinese Government are
much more important than are generally
supposed, if the gentlemen who are asso-
ciated with the Count are to be believed.
IL seems from the statements these gentle
men make, that he went to China for the
purpose Of securing the telegraph and rail-
road rights of the Empire. While there,
the project Of the bank, Of which 50 much
has been said, was developed, and he saw
his opportunity and seized it. Count
Mitkiecwicz is one of the most shrewd
fnanciers in the United States, but he
lacks the necessary secretiveness which is
so essential to good diplomat. 1t is said
the Chinese Government has appointed
seven commissioners to represent the EN-.
pire in America and the Count has been
appointed one Of the seven. 1t is said TO
be the purpose of the ENJOYS to make a
thorough study of the American system OF
banking and coinage, as well as the postal
system in the United States. Some years
ago Japan sent similar commission to
this country, and has adopted many Of the
American customs in the Japanese en-

Brutal Treatment st Degrees Camp-A
Cold Blooded Murder.
CHICAGO, September A Times special
from Atlanta, Ga, says Governor Gordon
has received information from Dodge coun-
ty, OF case OF brutality TO convicts in
Degrees camp, which has been unearthed
by the Dodge county Grand Jury. At that
camp were fifty convicts at work. The
superintendent name is Bryant. One
convict was made TO work by the fire. He
complained of being sick, but with the
lash Bryant compelled him to keep at
work, until at last the convict fell dead ct
his feet. The grand jury has indicted Bry-
ant for murder, but he heard Of II and e.
capped into Alabama. Other convicts were
as badly treated. Another case was that
of negro who escaped. The managers
supposed he would make his escape by the
railroad and sent guard to intercept him.
The guard went to q cut below the station
where there had been an old mill, after
awhile they heard the Changing Of chains
and knew he was coming. The negro came
in sight and was shot dead. The guard
said he halted the negro and be ran. This
statement was controvertef by the fact
that every shot was fired into the negro's
brest in front.

They are After the Offices-A Campaign
Founded on Sectional Strife.
QepsiGRd PdiRdedier.
Governor Foraker said at Wheeling that
he and his fellows insist on their right to
90 wherever they choose in the south "snd
take their mouths with them" Nobody
disputes their right to do so. But if Mr..
Foraker goes among southern people,
using his mouth as he uses in it in Ohio
and as he used it at Wheeling last week to
abuse the southern people and shout
rebel" and TRAITOR" at them. he cannot
expect a cordial welcome. There are
Forakers in the south as well as in the
north--more's the pity-and they are
likely to ''sass back" when called names
If the Forakers and Tuttles of the north
and their duplicates in the south would go
off together in the wilderness and howl at
each other until the whole of them lost
their wind, nobody would object and it
would be relief all round.
The men who are making all the noise
now and shouting that they want to put
down the rebellion again, when there is no
rebellion except one Of their own making,
are actuated purely by selfish motives.
They are after the offices. They want
power, with its consequences in their
hands-plunder. They want to carry
Ohio and other northern States this fall
as beginning Of the Presidential cam
paign. Foraker and his newspaper allies
think that by shouting rebel, +" "traitor"
and "copperhead," they can again fire
the northern heart and make the voters
believe they are once more ''rallying round
the flag" to save the Union" from un-
hung rebels" Realizing that they have
gone too far already with this programme
to hope for anything from the South at
present they propose to rekindle the
fame Of sectional strife and hatred and ar
ray the 'loyal North" against the rebel
South" at the ballot box next year.

and the proceedings passed off happily.
Two hundred veterans fell into line at ii

marched through the principal streets oil

Much feeling was caused by disagree
able affair that occurred during the parade.
1t was connected with the picture OF Pres

large flag was stretched, and with it a
picture of the President. The route chosen
for the parade included that portion OF
Main street. Learning that the picture
was there the managers who had charge OF
the parade curtailed the route, and many
of the veterans did not know Of the pic
ture being hung out.

Soma Sound Advice Givsn-Ths Commission Asks
Arguments Upon all Qasstors-fhs
Duty Of the Public 10 Give sl
Necessary Aid.

WASHINGTON, September Recently
an association OF wholesale grocers in
Pittsburg filed with the Interstate Com.
merce Commission, a protest against any
change asked by New York shippers in the
present system Of freight classification, as
between car loads on one hapd and smaller
quantities on the other, but added that
they deemed in unnecessary to enter into
argument on the subject, other than to
say the said classification is, in their opin-
ion, just aud fair to all concerned. Judge
Cooley acknowledging the receipt OF the
letter, and comments 81 follows upon the
disinclinstion occasionally manifested by
parties in interest to argue their cases be-
fore the Commission: "Allow me to say
that this course is neither fair to the Com-
mission, nor businesslike. Any such
question as is presented by the New York
petitions has two sides. One side will be
strongly presented by the petitioners, and
all the consideration advanced which
WILL TELL IN THEIR FAVOR.
You appear to assume that the Commis-
sion will infalliby discover the consider
ations bearing on the other side, and you
refrain from giving assistance. beg to
remind you if yon treated your law suits
in the same way, you would generally get
beaten, even when right was on your side.
The Court needs the aid of both parties,
and it will get but imperfect views of the
case without it. You may think rail.
roads will present all that can be done,
but this is very unsafe reliance; they
may think it for their interest before cases
are concluded to yield to petitioners
claims. Railroads make frequent changes
in their classification, and for aught we
know they may be perfectly willing to
make the one demanded. The commits.
sion is exceedingly desirous to administer
THE NEW LAW JUSTLY
and according to its spirit, but in order to
do this it is necessary that it have asst
snce from such persons as are able to ren.
der it, and when citizens deliberately with.
hold such assistance they will be fsirly es
topped, if they find that decision are made
to their detriment for making any com
plant, il is not in the nature of things that
the Commission should not sometimes be
misled, when only one side Of case is pre-
sented."
